I made the mistake of doubling the marinade and adding the doubled marinade AND the extra soy etc you add when cooking. Turned out way too salty - even using low sodium. AND I added the onions back into the pan while the pork cooked for 45 minutes. I missed in the instructions to not do that. I need to make this again, correctly. It was good enough with all my mistakes that I can imagine it'd be way better if I did it correctly.

In reply to That Uncle John. I'd try cutting into thick disks to maximize surface area.

Done this recipe, love it, even though i had used too much of 3 parts lemon / 1 part orange.
Now, if using pork tenderloin that comes in a long package, thinking either to 1) cut in half the long way like bread, or 2) cut into medium thick discs.
Shape trying to maximize marinating in shallow pan and then for searing quickly. Thoughts for 1) or 2) above?

In reply to Taylor. Bistek is the Filipino word for beef steak. But in cuisine, it's used to describe any meat or seafood cooked in soy sauce and lemon/lime juice (aka calamansi) with onion.

I'm confused . Tagalog is the Filipino language. Do you mean Bistek is the Filipino translation of Pork Bisetec?

In reply to Monica Trott. Beef works well in the recipe too.

How about using beef?
